The crew shows up at dawn and gets paid every week. The operator pays the invoice when it pays. For Alice service companies, funding is about the days between.
Apply Now →Alice is the county seat of Jim Wells County in South Texas, with 17,891 residents at the 2020 census. The surrounding region's business mix leans on farm, ranch and trade businesses and the small shops and services around them, and service companies that work the field often use a smaller city as a home yard for trucks, tools and crew.
The pages on oilfield services across Texas share a theme: the work is real and recurring, while the pay is slow.
The answers decide whether the need is working capital, equipment financing or something else.
| Step | Illustration |
|---|---|
| Weekly payroll and fixed costs | $16,000 |
| Weeks until the largest open invoice is expected to clear | 5 |
| Costs to carry in the meantime | $80,000 |
| Smaller payments expected in that period | $35,000 |
| Gap to fund | $45,000 |
All numbers here are invented for illustration and are not our terms or typical results. The method is what matters: costs in the wait, less money likely to arrive, equals the gap.
Service companies sometimes find that a customer simply stops paying promptly. The practical steps are the same in any trade: confirm the invoice was received and approved, follow up in writing, note every contact, and keep working capital sized so one slow account does not break payroll. If one customer represents most of your revenue, the risk is concentrated, and the business should treat that as a planning issue, not just a collections one.
Field work comes with recurring costs that are easy to underestimate: protective equipment, safety training, certifications and the insurance that goes with them. These expenses often need to be paid before a new crew member can work, which means a new hire costs cash before it earns any. Include them when planning a request, along with wages, so the amount reflects what a new crew actually needs.
